Open Up Resources is pleased to provide videos and select student activities from OUR 6-8 Math, authored by Illustrative Mathematics. The collection features videos for each grade level that represent a portion of the lessons addressing the major work of the grade. These key lessons cover the big mathematical ideas for the current grade level as well as assist in preparing students for work in upcoming grades. More lessons will be added to the collection.

Additional lessons that address further topics are available at the Open Up Resources website.

Students build virtual rockets to explore the physics concepts of forces (thrust, drag, lift, weight) and Newton's Three Laws of Motion: Inertia, Acceleration and Interaction.

In this Cyberchase video segment, Harry wants to visit his grandmother. He decides that the cheapest way for him to get there is to travel by unicycle, but he wonders if he can get there before dark. Using a line graph, he tries to predict the amount of time it will take to travel the twenty miles, assuming he travels at a constant speed. Once he sets out on his unicycle, he charts his progress on a new line graph. After the first hour he appears to be ahead of schedule, but he is not able to keep up the pace and soon finds himself falling behind.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must figure out the correct number code to unlock a machine. They have two numbers on one side, but are missing one of the numbers on the other side. The sum of the numbers must be equal on each side, so by subtracting the same number from each side they are able to determine the missing number.
